Every five pounds I lose I like to get a new piercing/body mod. I'm not one of those people with a ton of piercings or anything like that. I got a nose piercing. I want to bleach a section of my red hair bleach blonde next five. Then I want to get an upper cartilage piercing. Maybe a smiley piercing after that. I like the…

Wow, you look amazing! Congratulations!

I don't know why everyone is hating on Colonic's on here! I say, if you have the money for it, go for it! My aunt passed away from colon cancer and I have researched and found out that colonics can prevent colon cancer. Also, I hear you feel great afterwards. Even if you don't lose any weight, it's totally great to get rid…

I have large calves as well. I don't know why but my calves just seem to carry weight moreso than other girls. It's fine when I'm wearing pants and jeans for the most part. But I hate the way mine look in dresses and shorts. Oh well.... just another struggle. No matter how many calf raises I do, they still remain large.…

For me usually a turkey sandwich, banana and coffee, which is around 270 calories. Turkey (deli thin shaved) - Sargento 40 Calorie Colby Jack Ultra Thin Sliced cheese 2 slices of 40 calorie 12 grain bread =130 calories Banana =120 calories Coffee with skim milk and two splenda packets (need that afternoon pick-me-up,…

As long as you are eating over 1,200 calories - you should be fine! If you start feeling like you are losing energy due to lack of food/nutrients, maybe up your calories a little bit. When you first start, weight loss is easier. Your body is used to eating quite junky foods (in most cases) and then you suddenly eat much…

Here's my two cents on sugar when it comes to weight loss. I believe there to be a huge difference between natural sugars in fruits versus all other sorts of sugars (processed refined sugars). I usually am conscious of my sugar intake but if it is from fruit I am less concerned. As for all other foods besides fruit and…

I'm in!

I started at 180 pounds and When I got to 165ish - I think some of my closest friends noticed but otherwise noone really said much. When I got to 155 pounds, I started getting a LOT of compliments. So for me 25 pounds.

Thank you for all of the information :), I'm in no position to hide my sugar number because I think it keeps me on track. It does frustrate me a little when the number turns red but I'm not too hard on myself, especially if it came from fruits.

Blue or feta? Feta, hands down!

Quinoa is for sure an acquired taste but some of the recipe's I like to make when I have quinoa is 1) A black bean Quinoa Burrito bowl: and here's a good recipe for it http://theshiksa.com/2012/05/01/quinoa-black-bean-burrito-bowls/ 2)Quinoa corn and feta salad: Here's a good recipe (I don't stuff the peppers though)…

I love slacklining :) I wish it was in the exercise database because sometimes after doing it for an hour or so I am working up a sweat

As mentioned already: Sugar leads to insulin peaks. That's not so much the problem. The problem is followed by this is drop in insulin. A drop in insulin will then lead to tiredness and you will become more hungry and overeat. It just happens. It will usually lead to you eating more foods with lots of sugar and this may…

You look great :)

Wow! This is wonderful! I have never done any of my own gardening before but this is motivation to start! Thanks for sharing :)

I used to drink soda at least once a day, this past year I got kind of hooked and I must say I became a little addicted and didn't even realize it. I now have not had one soda in about 3 months and I am so proud of myself :) To be honest there are many things that I have splurged on and couldn't resist, however, soda has…

How often do you drink the apple cider vinegar? Every morning and evening? Before every meal? Thanks and I'd love to hear a follow up on whether or not you think Apple Cider Vinegar has helped with weight loss!!

If you are ever in a situation where you are in a hurry and need to stop by McDonald's for lunch there ARE (few) healthy options! You can get a plain grilled chicken breast -- this is served on a head of lettuce and pretty tasty! Only 90 calories, or you can have them put it on a side salad if you would like to eat it that…

Mine was to fit into the jeans I bought over a year ago (that sadly would not fit over my thighs) -- I now fit into them and look forward to them being my fat jeans :)

I was just there today :) I love the 6 inch tuna on wheat bread (toasted), no cheese or sauce + cucumber, tomato, olive and lettuce. It is about 470 calories but totally fills me up and does not leave me wanting more food. I love it. I know the turkey has fewer calories but I just love the tuna, with turkey I feel like…

I'm proud I finally fit in my skinny jeans -- can't wait until these are my fat jeans :)
